A tentative agreement has been made between Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

The nine-month dispute has shown disruption to vessel schedules along the West Coast, causing a trickle of consequences to many including carriers, shippers, importers, and end users.
